Hello everybody. Welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen.
Today I'm going to show you
how to make Taiwanese mango shaved ice
Mango shaved ice was first invented
by Ice Monster, a shaved ice store in Taipei, Taiwan back in 20 years ago
It was also voted one of the world's best dessert in 2013 by CNN
Today I'm going to show you how to make mango shaved ice with my twist
So let's get started
Here is the ingredients overview
it would be a good idea to invest yourself an
electrical shaved ice machine
the ice cream is optional
In this recipe, I use pineapple coconut
chocolate
and mango ice cream
but you can use any flavor of your choice
before you start making mango shaved ice
keep your serving bowls,
mango cubes and mango sauce
in the refrigerator for several hours or
preferably overnight
to prevent your shaved ice from melting too quickly
when you assemble it
it's also helpful when ice cream has already been scooped out
but keep it in the freezer
when it's ready for assembling
to pick a good and ripe mango
make sure your mango is in a nice oval shape
without any bruise
there are many varieties so do not judge based on the color
gently press the mango
the mango shouldn't feel too soft or too firm
a slight softness indicates
that the mango is perfectly ripe
when the mango is ripe it will also give out fruity smell and
weigh slightly heavier
to prepare the mango, cut both sides of the mango avoiding the pit
make horizontal and vertical cuts
try not to cut through the skin
invert the mango half
and use a spoon to scoop out the mango pieces
slide the knife along the pit and cut out more mango cubes
you can also scrape off more mango from the skin
I keep the perfect mango cubes to put on top of the shaved ice
and use the mango scraps to make the mango ice block and mango sauce.
To make mango ice cube, I mix 20% mango scraps,
30% mango juice
and 50% water together
and blend until liquid is smooth
transfer it into the ice mold and freeze overnight
make sure the freezer temperature
is at least zero Fahrenheit or -18 degrees Celsius
this percentage combination
creates a perfect mango flavor shaped ice
it's not too hard like plain water ice
but also not too soft like 100% mango juice ice
you can see the demonstration here
the middle bowl is what you want to achieve
pour coconut juice into the ice mold and keep it in the freezer
You can also use coconut milk
which gives a stronger flavor than using coconut juice
To make mango sauce, put 1/3 cup of mango scraps,
1 tbsp of mango juice
1 tbsp of lemon juice
and 1 tbsp of sugar in the mixer and
blend until smooth
the lemon juice will prevent
mango from oxidation
and gives your sauce that tartness
which goes well with your shaved ice.
You can also adjust the sweetness
and tartness according to your liking
start to shave mango ice cube
and coconut ice cube into a bowl
to save time, you can also shave the ice ahead of time
and put them into the freezer right away
evenly distribute the mango cubes
you want to work as fast as possible to
prevent ice from melting
put ice cream on top of the shaved ice
add your mango sauce
finish off your mango shaved ice
by drizzling some condensed milk on the top
Mango shaved ice will melt quickly
so you should eat it right away
This is a refreshing desert to share with friends and family in a hot day.
